What is Twitter?

Basically Twitter uses the status update feature on most social networks(like facebook) or blogs (like live journal) and cuts out having to post an entire blog entry. It only allows entries to be 140 characters or less. By using only the "Status" feature found in other applications friends and family can keep up with the little things in each others lives.

Schwa =

1. A mid-central neutral vowel, typically occurring in unstressed syllables, as the final vowel of English sofa.
2. The symbol (ə) used to represent an unstressed neutral vowel and, in some systems of phonetic transcription, a stressed mid-central vowel, as in but.

Y as a vowel

Y is a weird letter for at least three reasons. First, it can be a consonant, a vowel, or a vowel suffix. Second, when it is a vowel, it has no sound of its own; it has to borrow sounds from other vowels. Third, it acts in a strange way when it is at the end of a word.

Y is a consonant only when it comes at the beginning of a word. It sounds like yuh:

Y is a vowel when it comes anywhere in a word other than the beginning.

As a vowel suffix, -y works just like any other vowel suffix.
